Boa's Ark

Arche Boa

Loud fanfare for all animals
In times of climate change and species extinction, thousands of animals compete in a spectacular show. The prize: a ticket aboard the luxury liner “Boa’s Ark”. Twelve animals appear in the grand finale and explain why their habitat and thus their existence is threatened.

When the audience is asked to decide who will win and receive the coveted quarter on the ark, a thirteenth speaker who was not invited enters the stage—an earthworm. He makes it clear that a happy future for this planet depends not on the preservation of a single species, but on everyone sticking together.

The children in the audience immediately side with the show guests and protest…


A book that skillfully sums up the life-threatening actions of humans in rhymes – without lacking in linguistic wit or glimmers of hope.
